Philosophy
Students must understand how shading form light to dark creates volume and mass. How light hits an object is the basis of all three-dimensional art on a two dimensional plane. By knowing how to shade and gradate from light to dark students will be able to create realistic renderings. As well as shading students will discuss the value of human life, the different things that society values and where these originate.

Vocabulary
Cast shadow, chiaroscuro, closed-value composition, decorative value, highlight, local value, open-value composition, plastic value, shadow, shade, shading, shallow space, tenebrism, value pattern

Goals
Students learn vocabulary that enables them to discus how light and shadow affect their renderings.

· Gray scale- hatching, cross hatching, multi-hatching, circles, stippling, vertical lines, horizontal lines, and curved lines.
· Pat Ward Williams- Accused/ Blowtorch/ Padlock
· Reflection of Tragedy
· Draw cones with cross-hatching.
· Draw Spheres with curved lines and hatching
· Draw folded paper, rolled paper, and wavy paper.
· Carrie Mae Weems- Mirror, Mirror
· Collage on Beauty
· Reading on Drapery
· Draw drapery
· Draw origami cubes
· Chuck Close- squares of value
· Draw hands


Objectives
Perceptions: The students will be aware that light and the absence of light creates the illusion of three-dimensional on a flat surface.

Arts Heritage: Students will examine how Dutch Masters used light in their drawing as well as Pat Ward Williams, Carrie Mae Weems

Aesthetic Valuing: Students will determine whether or not their drawing are flat or have the illusion of three-dimension.

Creative Expression: Students will create rendering of still lives to express shape.
